Post by: MarpleAlty on January 30, 2021, 09:12:10 AM: Interesting - wouldn't have been surprised to see him put recruitment to bed for now, but good to see he's always looking at options to improve us further.

Maybe a young lad in on loan?
Title: Re: "We’ve got a new forward coming in either this week or next” said Parkinson
Post by: Saughall Robin on January 30, 2021, 10:15:53 AM: Yes. Sounds like someone being let go at the end of the January transfer window or someone on loan.
PP knows what he's doing.

I know this has been done to death on this forum regarding various players, I'm just not a fan of former players returning - I'd rather move on.

Also have I missed something - is it really not working out at Fylde because I thouggt he seemed to be doing OK and they've obviously invested in him...?
Title: Re: "We’ve got a new forward coming in either this week or next” said Parkinson
Post by: Freddie on January 30, 2021, 05:49:30 PM: Surely Hulme is under contract at Fylde and from what I've seen he isn't doing badly.

I reckon this is who it’ll be. Did well for us on loan a couple of years ago.
Title: Re: "We’ve got a new forward coming in either this week or next” said Parkinson
Post by: Leon on January 30, 2021, 05:58:25 PM: Wikipedia says Piggott was born in Nantwich, so that clinches it...

He did indeed. I liked his play, I'm no judge but PP is, he knows a fair number of faces already. I'd be happy to back PP with whomever he opts for.

Slow 23 minutes coming up...

Post by: MarpleAlty on January 30, 2021, 07:01:31 PM: Piggott is a strong shout and seems like a Parky kinda signing. Let's wait and see.
Title: Re: "We’ve got a new forward coming in either this week or next” said Parkinson
Post by: MarpleAlty on January 30, 2021, 07:02:47 PM: Should have just waited 10 seconds!

Welcome back Joe and good luck.

Post by: oneedham on January 30, 2021, 07:23:27 PM: This is more like it.

Quality signing. Been out a while so may take a few games to get up to speed.
Title: Re: "We’ve got a new forward coming in either this week or next” said Parkinson
Post by: MarpleAlty on January 30, 2021, 07:25:26 PM: We're filling the team with young, saleable assets - Senior, Mullarkey, Smith, Colclough, Mooney, Piggott - for the first time I think we'll start regularly producing Football League players.

I just hope it's with us.

All true, but youve omitted Tompson

Post by: TheCultOfIanTunnacliffe on January 30, 2021, 07:51:11 PM: Out of interest, was his loan spell at Stockport County in September 2019 the last time that he played a competitive game, before being sidelined by injury?

Title: Re: "We’ve got a new forward coming in either this week or next” said Parkinson
Post by: Saughall Robin on January 30, 2021, 09:01:16 PM: My take is that was his last first team game but he's been playing with the U23 side whose stats aren't shown.
Think it's fair to say he's had a few setbacks but he's done it here before.
He may take a few games to get up to speed but he's possibly the player we've needed all season.

Joe said on his interview he'd been out for over a year with ACL injury. So don't think he's played recently.

Post by: Inter Alty! on January 31, 2021, 10:52:48 AM: It was the classic fan's chant & a bit of fun from his previous loan spell at our club from the Curzon Ashton away game in Feb 2019 when Joe scored a hat trick in Alty's 6-0 win that could easily have been double figures... a brilliant display & one of the best Alty performances from recent years... was a pleasure to be there that day...

He's a great signing, if stays fit... Good Luck Joe! COYR!! :)

It was. We truly should have got double figures that day.

Picked up from Man City I think Steve, Shaun Goater, "Feed the Goat"
Just football banter.

Suppose goats and pigs have differing connotations.

Post by: Alty Dave on February 01, 2021, 10:45:53 AM: I'd be surprised if joe features tomorrow, based upon recovering from ACL injury, not played much recently and had just 1 training session. Outsider for bench maybe, but depends on whom else is fully fit I guess.
